The temptation is often there to buy something different or just another SxS. I'm always at least looking at the antique or vintage SxS's that come up for auction, it borders on an addiction.

I don't need another one, but often want another one. I suspect many of you have deeper pockets than I do. I have noticed that there seem to be a lot fewer under $3K hammer or sidelock SxS shotguns in good shape and of good quality than 5 years ago.


I have become addicted to English hammered shotguns to the detriment of my wallet.
